Rain may be heavy at times and for short periods in some areas, accompanied by thunder and hail, which could lead to the formation of flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas. By nighttime, rainfall is expected to weaken, while cold and partly cloudy conditions persist. Winds will be moderate southwesterly, becoming active at times and stirring dust in desert areas.

Maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to range between 15–7°C in East Amman, 13–6°C in West Amman, 11–5°C in the northern highlands, 11–4°C in the Sharah highlands, 16–5°C in the desert regions, 15–7°C in the plains, 22–11°C in the northern Jordan Valley, 24–13°C in the southern Jordan Valley, 22–12°C at the Dead Sea, and 22–12°C in Aqaba.

The Meteorological Department warns of the risk of flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas, rising water levels—including around the Dead Sea, the Jordan Valley, and Aqaba—thunderstorms, and reduced horizontal visibility due to fog and low clouds over highlands and parts of the plains, as well as dust in desert regions.

On Thursday, the impact of the low-pressure system deepens. The weather will be cold, cloudy, and rainy at intervals in the north and center of the Kingdom, as well as parts of the east and southwest. Heavy rain is expected in some areas, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and hail.

The department again warns of flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas and rising water levels, including in the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. Winds will be moderate southwesterly, becoming active at intervals and raising dust in desert areas.

Friday will remain cold and partly cloudy to cloudy, with intermittent showers in the western parts of the Kingdom. Rain may be heavy at times in the morning in central regions and parts of the southwest. Gradually, rainfall will weaken by nighttime. Winds will be moderate northwesterly, becoming active at times.
